IEE offers its Hand-Held Control Display Unit as a full featured COTS item

IEE now offers its military qualified, field grade Hand Held Control Display Unit (HH-CDU) as a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) item. Originally designed for a Special Forces Manpack Global Positioning System it has been successfully tested in ground mobile, marine and airborne situations. The unit meets or exceeds the widest range of rugged military requirements including MIL-STD-810 for stock, vibration, altitude, blowing rain, sand and dust, salt fog, explosive atmosphere, and immersion.

The unit comes equipped with a super twist wide view liquid crystal display with both unfiltered backlight and NVIS B compatible backlight. The keypad has MIL-P-7788 edge-lit type keys and NVIS B compatible backlight. Features of the COTS standard unit can be modified including display and annunciators, key nomenclature and software.
